Hi! We are Justin and Loryn,

Thank you so much for taking the time to look through our profile.

This is just a snapshot of who we are. We know that we can’t possibly tell you everything about us in a few words and pictures, but we hope the important things shine through. We hope you are able to see our quirky, fun, and adventurous personalities as you read. We both love our families and pets more than anything, and we are so excited to add a child into the mix. We can’t begin to imagine what you are feeling right now as you look through these pages, but we want to thank you for being here. Our hope is to provide the love and support you need to make this process as smooth and easy as possible for you and your baby, no matter what decision you make.

Our Story

We met through a blind date set up by a friend who was a co-worker of Justin's at the time.

She felt we would be a good match! We not only share the same values and goals, but we also just enjoy each other’s company. We enjoy music, travel, and Disney movies together. Individually, Justin loves most sports but especially baseball and college basketball; while Loryn loves reading books and watching true crime. Justin proposed in 2019 and a few months after we adopted Raider, our older dog. We moved into our home in March 2021 and got married the following June. Once everything had settled, we brought home Rebel and started our lives as a married couple.

Home and Family

We moved into our house in 2021. When searching for our home, it was important to us that the neighborhood be safe and diverse.

Our neighborhood has many different cultures represented and an elementary school within walking distance. We are very lucky in that our neighborhood has 3 parks with climbing structures, one that is very near our home, as well as a community pool. In addition to this, there are walking paths and fishing ponds throughout. We have two dogs, Raider who is a mixed breed, and Rebel who is a Shih Tzu. Most holidays, when we are not with our extended families, we dress up the dogs and include them in the festivities.

Justin is from a large, close-knit family in Ohio. He has 2 sisters and 7 nieces and nephews as well as tons of aunts and uncles. His sisters are overjoyed at another baby coming to the family and our nieces and nephews are excited for another cousin to play with! Loryn’s family is small but just as close. Loryn’s parents make a point to be present for as many events, big or small, as possible for all of their grandchildren. We spend several weeks each summer at her parents’ lake house with her sister and her family.

We want to leave you with a few promises that we intend to keep as parents.

• We promise to love and support your baby, no matter who they grow to be.

• We promise that we will have silly dance parties in the kitchen and cozy movie nights on the couch.

• We promise that we will be there to guide your baby as they navigate the world and always be a soft place to land when things are tough.

There are so many promises we want to make but the most important is this: We promise to provide the best life possible for your baby.
